Huawei WiFi WS5200 Router Unboxing, Review

 Most of the local tech reviews so far took more attention on the stronger, quad-core one yet the Php 3999 asking price (those who got it for Php 1999 during a previous sale were lucky) so we took a chance to buy the more affordable Huawei WiFi WS5200 router

See our unboxing and first look here:

The supplied adapter is 12V 1A (for 12 watts) although we do not have measuring device if Huawei is hitting the maximum electric consumption. 

Like in most budget routers, there are two color indicators in it's LED light - blinking red if there is something wrong and solid yellow-like color, a sign that the router is working in good condition

The WS5200 has Huawei's own Gigahome dual core 800 Mhz CPU which compared to the previous budget router (under Php 600) that I had, it has more oomph in terms of what we do heavily on streaming live videos and online video recording for some of the media events that we covered. What's good that it already has WiFi ac (for more modern devices) and it combines the 2.4 and 5 GHz band powers which brings more Fibr speeds for compatible devices like Huawei Nova 8 that we had as main driver. 

Performance wise, it was very good for us either on WiFi and on LAN cable mode as we can go as almost 100 mbps out of a PLDT Fibr 1299 plan. Guest WiFi and bridge mode also worked wonders for us from our tests

As of writing,  Huawei WiFi WS5200 is priced at Php 1299 in Shopee and Php 1399 thru their own Huawei Philippines' official online store (but we advise you to buy in Shopee as you can save more on the SRP and the possible free shipping and product vouchers on the fly compared to Php 99 and our experience took 9 days on shipping but to blame on their logistics provider that time which is 2Go).  Connectivity, design, WiFi ac on a budget and number of functions were the strengths of this device but on cons, the design flaw of not having an option to hang this device on a wall is something Huawei must check in their future router releases. Pricing, it depends if you are comparing with other offerings with the likes of TP-Link and Tenda

Huawei WiFi WS5200 router for us is 4 out of 5
